[Intro] Funny. Spent all this time running from monsters. Then I looked around. [Verse 1] First week, we prayed for a rescue team, third week, learned what a human means. Food got low, so the mood got mean, good men switched when the cupboards went clean. Used to ask who lived, now who gets fed? Who gets medicine? Who gets left? Mercy got expensive, kindness got taxed, we buried our morals underneath the facts. Dead at the fence got nothing to prove, they see something living, they follow the food. But people make deals, people pick sides, people shake hands while deciding who dies. [Pre-Chorus] Tell me which one's worse, the teeth or the smile? One wants your body, one waits for a while. [Chorus] WE ARE THE WALKING DEAD! Still breathing, barely human! WE ARE THE WALKING DEAD! Look what surviving made us! MADE US! MADE US! They hunt because they're hungry, we hunt because we choose! If living means becoming this, WHAT DID WE REALLY PROVE? [Verse 2] I learned quick, trust costs twice what it pays, nice guy dies while the liar gets days. Saint turns sinner when dinner gets thin, everybody righteous till survival kicks in. That's predator math with a civilized face, subtract one friend, add food to the place. Divide that guilt by the mouths you defend, then call it necessity right at the end. I watched good people get good at the worst, watched love turn lethal when loyalty hurt. Dead keep coming, predictable threat, living keep score, collect every debt. So who needs saving? Who gets condemned? We keep drawing lines then crossing again. They lost their minds, we surrendered ours, difference is they never pretended they're proud. [Breakdown] They don't lie. They don't betray. They don't tell you you're family, then take everything away. BITE! RUN! LIVE! REPEAT! WHAT ARE WE NOW? BREATHE! HUNT! TAKE! REPEAT! WHAT ARE WE NOW? [Final Chorus] WE ARE THE WALKING DEAD! Still breathing, barely human! WE ARE THE WALKING DEAD! Look what surviving made us! They hunt because they're hungry, we hunt because we choose! If living means becoming this, WHAT DID WE REALLY PROVE? [Outro] Maybe they didn't become us. Maybe we became them.
